Hi everyone...have an oil leak on my 2009 Mud Pro 700 at the oil strainer plate, parts show no gasket for this, has anyone had this problem and what could I use to seal? Also what did you do to access the 2 strainer bolts at the cross member? Thanks

How?...

I had to die grind slots at the cross member aligned with two of the oil strainer screws to access them. Then drained the oil, and removed the strainer plate, cleaned mating surfaces and applied ''Three Bond"
1194 liquid gasket, reinstalled. check for leaks, ok.
note: grinding the two slots doesn't take any integrity away from the
cross member, otherwise you have to lift the motor.
